I have been looking for the bond bug they seem to go for silly money at the moment

I’m a bit underwhelmed :sad-face:

I generally stick to 1/72 scale aircraft so apart from the re-issued Mosquito there’s nothing really that interests me.

There are some nice looking kits though so they should sell well.

landy is the wrong scale.......1/43 is such an odd scale

ferret is on the want list

other than that not a lot is catching my eye

Aimed squarely at car modellers, then. 1:43 is very much the small-scale car scale, AFAIK.

I think the Ferret scout car is a must for me.

It’s UK model railway O scale (7mm/foot) as well. Gives it quite a market.

Looks like Katy has a new dress as well. That’s why mine doesn’t have a sprue C…….

1/48 Fairey Gannet yes!
Plus one for the Ferret as well.

And in all my years....as a car modeller.....I've never met, or seen on numerous forums any one who's made a 1/43 scale car :smiling5:

Then it should have a hornby name tag instead of airfix.....as it's aimed at the railway wallahs

Yes thats right jakko , 1/43 is one of the most common scales for die cast collectors , and Heller did quite a range of 1/43 kits years ago , lots of everyday vehicles ( mini , citroen 2cv ,Renault 5 etc , even such things as an Austin Princess ! )

Sorry, don‘t understand the comment? I didn’t say it was aimed at them, I just said it was a potential market for the kit. Airfix already have three car kits out in 1/43 and are releasing four more this year so they obviously see a market for them.

Plenty of resin and whitemetal manufacturers out there in this scale as well Tony.
